Zeus: Re: Project Name Change

[Damon Tkoch <damon.tkoch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I have changed the name of the mailing list and (still naescent) 
website from binding to zeus.

Please send list mail to zeus@xxxxxxxxxxx (but mail to 
binding@xxxxxxxxxxx will still work, if ya just can't remember.)

The zeus.enhydra.org website is still almost completely empty but there 
is a searchable archive of this mailing list available at 
http://zeus.enhydra.org/project/mailingLists/maillist.html
